All-American off-road firm Jeep is part of the larger Chrysler organisation, which has been through a turbulent few years. First the company parted ways with Mercedes-Benz, then the recession hit the firm harder than most, but now Chrysler’s future is looking a lot more stable under Fiat ownership. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is something of a transition model, as it uses a platform that’s shared with the Mercedes-Benz M-Class, but it’s powered by a 3.0-litre V6 diesel that was developed by Fiat.

Famed for its ability to cross deserts with virtually no fuss, the Jeep Wrangler is an American motoring icon that has hardly changed in more than 30 years. Offering a decidedly different approach for a road-going car with go-anywhere ability, the Wrangler’s only real rival is the Land Rover Defender. But with most high-riding SUVs such as the Toyota Land Cruiser and Mercedes G-Class rarely seeing anything more challenging than a muddy track, can the new Wrangler tempt buyers with retro looks and formidable off-road ability? Ginny takes the five-door Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to the test track to give the Carbuyer verdict.

Test Drive: 2018 Jeep Compass Limited 4×4
If I owned Jeep, the first thing I would do is change the Compass’ name.

“If you don’t need a larger vehicle, why haul one around all the time?”

The vehicle that previously wore this badge was a mediocre little thing, a plasticky lump based on the Dodge Caliber. Overall, its most notable attribute was that you could get it for cheap. Other than its name, this new Compass has about as much in common with the old one as a Fiat 500 does with a one-ton Ram truck.
You’ll pay more for the new Compass over the old, of course, but overall, it’s worth the bump.
The all-new Jeep Compass was unveiled for 2017, and it rumbles virtually unchanged into 2018, except for some new features in its available SiriusXM: travel link, traffic information, and Guardian, which includes remote services and assistance.

The Compass comes in front-wheel drive on the entry-level Sport and next-up North. Both can be optioned to 4×4, the only configuration on the Trailhawk and my tester, the Limited.
It’s based on the same platform that underpins the larger Cherokee and smaller Renegade. All Compass models use a 2.4L four-cylinder engine cranking out 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. The Sport can be ordered with a six-speed manual. Otherwise, you get a six-speed automatic when you order front-wheel drive, and a nine-speed automatic in four-wheeler models.

Pricing starts at $25,250 for the base Sport, and rises to a high of $35,245 for the Limited. Of course several options are available, and my ride was ordered from the factory with a heavy hand: $7,125 in extras, bringing it to $42,370 before freight and taxes.
That was a bit too hefty a tag for my compact ride, but on the other hand, I also like that more automakers are now allowing buyers to load up smaller vehicles, if that’s their preference. It used to be that if you wanted more features, you had to buy a larger footprint. My loaded-up Compass felt as well-equipped as some Grand Cherokees I’ve driven, but without the bulk that our two-member family doesn’t require. If you don’t need a larger vehicle, why haul one around all the time?

The Compass’ little engine is fine if you’re driving moderately, but it gets wheezy when you ask it for more and run it out. If you want some passing power, especially at highway speeds, you put your foot down and then count a couple of beats while the transmission downshifts and then everything catches up. The nine-speed gets it up into the higher gears as quickly as possible for fuel economy, but at the same time, I thought it shifted more smoothly than a Trailhawk I tested last year. Perhaps a bit of extra trans tuning for the Limited’s more luxo feel?
Also, in keeping with fuel economy and emissions, the engine has a automatic stop-start feature, which shuts it off at idle, such as when you’re sitting at a light. You get a noisy, rough jolt when it starts up again, and if it’s too much, you can disable the system by pressing a button.

Despite its somewhat lacklustre engine performance, the Compass redeems itself with its ride. It’s wonderfully smooth and composed, soaking up bumps and coddling passengers without feeling detached or floaty. The cabin is very quiet, too, which adds to the overall higher-end feeling. Against the official figures of 10.8 L/100 km in the city and 7.8 on the highway, I averaged 10.1 L/100 km in my week with it.
The four-wheel system runs primarily in front-wheel, seamlessly transferring power to the back when necessary. A dial on the console lets you adjust the system to better tackle snow, sand, or mud, and you can lock it into power to both axles when travelling at low speed in the sticky stuff. My tester did fine in some heavy snow, but if you want more of the full Jeep experience, opt for the Trailhawk. It adds a “rock” setting and low range with a 20:1 crawl ratio, and while it isn’t as gnarly as a Wrangler, this trim level is far more off-road capable than you’d expect.

The Compass is a handsome beast that looks a lot like a scaled-down version of a Grand Cherokee. North trims and up include automatic headlamps, roof rails, and fog lamps; while the Limited adds rain-sensing wipers (which, like all moisture-sensitive ones, work great in steadier precipitation, but fizzle in drizzle, and aren’t as effective). My tester was further optioned with a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, at a wallet-draining $1,595.
The interior design is close to that of the larger Cherokee, and it’s as handsome as the outside, with lots of soft-touch materials, contrasting stitching, and curvy styling. However, not all is perfect. There are several controls stuffed into the centre console, with no room left over for storage. There’s a small covered console box and door pockets, but no place up front to casually toss your phone or other items.

When it comes to pickups, you’ll be hard-pressed to find one as cool as THIS – the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon! It arrives with a 3.6-litre V6 engine, 285hp and 353Nm of torque, and for this review, it’s also got an orange paint job that can be spotted a mile away! But will Mat love it as much as other class-leaders like the Mercedes X-Class or VW Amarok? Join him for his latest review to find out!

In todays video I check out the all new JL Wrangler! This 2019 Jeep Wrangler is the Rubicon trim level which makes it ideal for any off road adventure! Locking differentials, swaybar disconnect and a low range four wheel drive system are the best touches! This one features the power sliding roof which I really liked. Super convenient to use by pressing one button and the entire roof slides back. Obviously the doors are completely removable but what I really like is how the 3rd windows can pop right out too!

Comparing the Rubicon the a Sahara model, I do notice more of a floaty ride and vague steering. It’s pretty planted on the road as far as body roll goes. Acceleration is also pretty good with the V6 and 8 speed automatic. The steering was my only complaint with the more aggressive tires and taller ride. I also drove the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland, which is comparable to the Sahara Wrangler, and it was much smoother on road.

Overall this was a sweet vehicle to check out and drive! Looks awesome, has a ton of tech and safety features, and we all know how good a Rubicon is off road!

The fourth-generation Jeep Cherokee doesn’t have a lot of “new” going for it. But Jeep claims there’s a new one coming based on the Alfa Romeo Stelvio platform. So is there any reason to buy the current five-passenger old guard? Micah Muzio from Kelley Blue Book gives you a bunch of reasons. Check them out.

The all-new Jeep Wrangler is a huge improvement over the last model with a focus on improved road manors, updating the cabin and making the Wrangler easier to live with every single day. Every aspect of the new 2018 Wrangler was studied to make improvements, from the addition of LED headlamps, new 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder, a new 6-speed manual transmission, 8-speed automatic, improved roof design and interior comfort. The difference between the old Wrangler model and this new version is like night and day, this is now a 5-passnger utility that makes it easy to live with every single day, plus it retains its trail-rated 4X4 credibility.

I review the all-new 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2-Door with the automatic transmission and take it on a 650 mile road trip! Huge thanks to Jeep for providing the Wrangler. What do you think about it?
